He has also had solo exhibitions in Manhattan at 55 Mercer, the Sensory Evolution Gallery, the Gallery at Flamingo East, and also at the Time & Space, Ltd. Gallery in Hudson, N.Y. His solo exhibitions outside New York were at the University of Alabama, and the Durham Arts Council, among others. He has shown his work frequently in New York since the early 1980s, and has been featured in curated exhibitions at the Fashion Institute of Technology, The Durst Organization, Margaret Bodell Gallery, George Billis Gallery and numerous other galleries and alternative spaces
The paintings of Michael Tice combine a narrative mood with decorative charm and a sense of childhood nostalgia. Tice evokes settings and atmospheres reminiscent of 1950s 'Dick and Jane' readers and colorful story books to hint at the anxiety underlying an orderly suburban world. With its skillful figuration and pleasing colors, Tice's work candy coats a compelling psychological complexity, enabling the viewer to sense the discontent brewing beneath the idyllic surface of the American dream.
